Reviews
I ordered the Gut Buster (to go since we are still under partial shut down). The portion size was good enough for 2 meals, and that is saying something for me (I LOVE to eat). It came with 2 ribs, some, pulled pork, a single sausage link, and a healthy serving of smoked brisket.
The pulled pork was pretty standard. Juicy, tender and simply flavored, it definitely needed the BBQ sauce to bring out the flavor more. The sausage link was juicy, and also tender, with a nice snap when you bit into it. I didn’t enjoy the ribs as much as I thought I would; they were tender, but not the fall-off-the bone tender I would have expected. Now the Brisket was by far my favorite! Extremely moist and tender, even without BBQ sauce it had great flavor through out. When I added BBQ sauce, it only heightened the flavor intensity of the meat. Definitely go for the Brisket if you are only looking to try one meat.
As for the BBQ sauce, I actually enjoyed the Honey BBQ a little more than the original. I feel like the honey in the Honey BBQ sauce balanced the tang of the original a little better, and compliment the flavors of the meats better.
Now the Gut Buster is supposed to come with 2 sides, and I thought by substituting the sides with cornbread, it would break even, but they still charged the $1 price, with no other sides. I mean, you are already paying $26 for the platter, so I would have expected that if I weren’t taking any additional sides, they could have thrown the cornbread in on good faith. I did knock off a star for this. If it hadn’t been for that notion, I would have 100% given Reid’s a 5 star review.
Overall, definitely a great BBQ place, worth a visit if you are having a craving for some fantastic flavor!
I had 2 ribs and the collard greens and tried so hard to finish all but was stuffed. Couldn’t even finish the last few bites but omg it’s SO good. The greens are easily the best I’ve ever had, they have a little bite to them but it’s not over powering and the ribs… Come on! They aren’t “overcooked, fall of the bone” they’re “perfectly timed, with a little tug so you know you’re eating meat and not mush, fall of the bone” the exact way a rib should be cooked. I love this place and whenever I get near them, I have to go inside and grab something.
Sorry, I didn’t care for cut fries. Got weak with takeout box. Next time get more slaw. I wish I could add some hot sauce on top of brisket. For extra flavor kick!
Everything is so delicious and the Collards lived up to my craving. I will be back and recommending to all my friends.
